Core curriculum courses completed at one USG institution are fully transferable to another USG institution per the USG Core Curriculum Transfer Agreements.

Each USG institution's core curriculum shall consist of 60 semester hours, 42 hours in Areas A-E and 18 hours in Area F, as follows:

AREA NAME HOURS
Area A1 Communication Skills At least 6 semester hours
Area A2 Quantitative Skills At least 3 semester hours
Area B Institutional Options At least 3 semester hours
Area C Humanities/Fine Arts and Ethics At least 6 semester hours
Area D Natural Sciences, Mathematics, and Technology At least 7 semester hours
Area E Social Sciences At least 6 semester hours
Area F Lower Division Major Requirements At least 18 semester hours

Area D: At least 4 of these hours must be in a lab science course.

Students completing any core curriculum course will receive full credit for that course upon transfer to another USG institution within the same major, even if a core area is not completed and even if it means giving transfer credit across areas (e.g., credit of a math course in Area C).
